Zanzibar was not a strategic choice. It was a discovery —

unexpected, powerful, immediate.

When we first arrived, we were struck by its colors, its scents,

its energy. But what truly captured us were the people:

strong, welcoming, curious. And the rare sense of freedom —

a freedom to be, to think, to create without barriers.

In Zanzibar, you can build without rushing.

You can teach and watch knowledge take root in ways that
feel pure and powerful.

You can imagine something that doesn't exist yet — and

make it real, one detail at a time.

This island taught us that excellence is not a matter of

location, but of intention.
It is here, surrounded by the richness of spices and the

rhythm of the ocean, that Iliki took shape: a pastry laboratory

where Italian precision meets the audacity of local

ingredients, where tradition and innovation blend in

unexpected ways.

Zanzibar is part of Iliki's soul — not just its setting.

Here, craft finds new meaning. Here, the art of the

unexpected becomes a way of life.
